To begin with 2015-2016 trend forecasting, it is built based on researches of the 2013 social
formation, consumption trends, and design expert interviews. With these researches and
studies, we have prepared Chinese lifestyle forecasting and four different design macro trends.
In each macro trend, we have provided corresponding CMF (color, material, and finish)
proposals, which will be suitable for various design fields in China for 2015-2016. We strongly
believed that when CMF elements are translated onto product design, it has the power to cater
consumers’ emotional demands, so as to attract more potential consumers towards market
success. And these are the resources and influences that we wish to bring to our readers with this book.
